NDEV System Menu

Description

The NDEV system menu is a utility that configures various console settings to be accessed by NDEV applications. As it is embedded in the boot program, you can switch to the NDEV system menu by holding down the Z trigger (tentatively) on a standard GameCube controller during boot.

Using the Demo

To select the highlighted item, press the A Button.
To go back to previous menu, press the B Button.
To cycle through the menu items, move the Control Stick or use the +Control pad's up/down buttons.
Settings can be saved by pressing START on the top menu. Note: Settings are not enabled until they are saved.
If the Control Stick or the +Control Pad is held in down a given direction, the select cursor will continue moving in that direction.
Operations are possible by connecting a standard GameCube controller into Port 1. Future plans call for adding support for Wii Remote and other controllers.
